!87-A Platform Stake Racks

I am building up the racks from what little I have as I am short some stakes, But I wonder if anyone has knowledge concerning the front or headache rack. I was given a metal grill that protects the rear window but allows rear vision for the driver. It seems not to line up bolt wise with the two stra...

Re: Newbie: 1930 AA flatbed dualie

NIce rig with great patina! I like the support strap rigged to hold the running board up. Are the deck stakes made of wood? I would love to see a picture of the inside of the racks for ideas for mine. I do not have enough steel stakes to restore all my racks so I may just us wood stakes for now. Aga...

Re: Just minding my own business then................

I hope you find the trouble and get her back on the road, but before you do, please replace the bolt and wing nut on the brake pedal clevis with a proper pin and cotter pin. It would be a shame to get rolling only to lose the brakes when the wing nut falls off.

Re: Muffler hanger

Thanks for the reply, Brian and Hayslip. This truck is a 131" so the bracket should work. I'll check it out tonight and see about those holes. I can't believe I missed them, but then again I am missing more and more every year.

Re: 3rd gear issues

I had an issue with my four speed in the top three gears being a little stubborn at first. I decided to add another pint to the trans to help slow it down a bit, and that helped about 50% of it. The more I have driven it the more I have learned. The trans shifts way better after it warms up a bit, s...

Re: Hub puller woes

I spent almost a full seven days and a tall bottle of O2 on one. I also used a bashed hupcap filled with penetrating oil through a small hole I drilled in it. I cannot say it did not help, and it certainly caused a lot of smelly smoke. I also killed two jacks and two rigs putting the pressure on. Ma...

Re: Turn Signals Suggestions

I tried a lot of Motorcycle lamps from Hondas to Harleys and the were all to bulky or had too much plastic chrome. I did some shopping on E-Bay and Craig's List for some antique styled ones but they were too spendy or required a lot of modifications to make the work safely. I eventually used a Logo ...
